What is the equivalent of a 6001ZZ bearing?

The 6001ZZ is a 12×28×8mm deep groove ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: FAG 6001-2ZR, NSK 6001ZZ, NTN 6001ZZ, Timken 6001-ZZ. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 6001ZZ bearing?

The 6001ZZ bearing has a bore diameter of 12mm, outer diameter of 28mm, and width of 8mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 5.4 kN, static load rating of 2.36 kN, and weighs 19.5g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 38,000 rpm.

Can I replace a SKF 6001ZZ with a FAG equivalent?

Yes. SKF and FAG bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 6001ZZ (12×28×8mm) can be replaced with the equivalent FAG part number as long as the seal type (ZZ) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
